TIME
 (21 August – 31 October 2008)

Loop video installation,  Loop sound installation and Acrylic 

 

Tickleart, a curated visual art event at CityLink Mall, attempts to encapsulate time as an omnipresence with three different takes by three Singapore visual artists on its ephemeral quality. Through videos and sound projections, the artists capture the "hang time" of an experience.  Time is the indefinite continuum of existence. A constant element that goes unnoticed, how does one quantify motion without measurement of hours, minutes or seconds?
 A submersion of unknown sounds and haunting shadows, their video Terminus features the void deck – an area often taken for granted. Dealing with ideas of memory and loss in the city, the imagination runs amok with the intriguing concoction of audio and visual elements. Iranian Singapore artist Salehi Rahni Sima tackles a familiar topic of female issues reflected in her culture today. Her installation captures the essence of tensions felt by a Muslim woman, trapped within the subversive notion of tradition and gender.
Questioning the limits of the body in relation to the spaces she is in.
Curated by Susie Wong, Time, which interestingly coincides within the period of the Formula One and Singapore Biennale will run from 21 August to 31 October at tickleart.
